Rob O’Neill, the Navy SEAL who says he was the one who fired the shots that killed bin Laden during the raid on his Abbottabad compound, has posted to Twitter in the past about the anniversary. He also appeared on Fox & Friends last year to speak about that day.

“How did a kid from Montana who would barely swim become a Navy SEAL and end up right here at this moment,” O’Neill said, recalling watching announcements of bin Laden’s death on TV while the terrorist leader’s dead body was at his feet.

“It was such an awesome night,” he continued. “It was such an honor […] to be a part of that incredible team.”

O’Neill described some of the events of that night, including the moment he came face-to-face with bin Laden.

“I turn a corner after pretty much the bravest act of heroism I’ve ever seen, when the point man jumped on the suicide bombers – I turned to the right based on the way he went, and there was bin Laden standing there about three feet away,” he said.

“We thought we were going to die,” O’Neill later added.

Seven years ago on this date: SEAL Team Six took care of Osama Bin Laden, the president told the country, and the only major sporting event going on at the time, Phillies-Mets on Sunday Night Baseball, responded in kind. https://t.co/0UIdliyCRf
